Great game in my honest opinion. I'll admit I was dissapointed when it was over though...

What are your thoughts on this game and how many teammates did you lose in the final mission and whom?

Me, I lost Grunt... :(

Edit: Also, if you chose to persue a relationship with one of the crew memebers, which one did you have it with? I chose Tali.

It was amazing. I lost Mordin though, so I've always been saddened by that. But, I promised myself years ago that I would never go back in a Bioware or Quantic Dream game just because of one thing's outcome.

I forget exactly who I lost in the final mission, as I finished the game several days after it came out. I pursued the relationship with Tali.

I loved the ending of the game, as I chose to diss The Illusive Man. I also love the part at the ending when it shows the Reapers descending upon the galaxy. Ooooohhh, I can't wait for ME3!

Loved the game at the time. I remember freaking out on the final mission thinking I was gonna lose someone. When Garrus ran through a door at one stage, he was bent over clutching his chest & I remember thinking "Noooooooooooo!". Turns out he was just tired after all that running, & I didn't lose anyone. Awesome game, but it's been a month or two now since I played it & looking back on it, it doesn't seem as good as it was at the time. I also lost 3/4 of the achievements I got because I was playing it offline, & had recovered my gamer tag on a friends 360. I still have the save file ready for ME3 though.

I HATE cliffhanger endings. As cool as Mass Effect is, I hate how its almost expected for games to be trilogies. I wish Bioware would have released a longer game with an actual ending rather than forcing us to wait another two+ years for ME3. Regardless, I love the series too much not to get ME3, so I'll just have to be patient. I got through without a single casualty and I dissed the Illusive man. As for romance, Tali all the way!!!

I enjoyed it more than Mass Effect, but the story still does not seem great to me. I am hoping Mass Effect 3 answers questions and wraps up nicely.

I was dissapointed with the end of Mass Effect 2.. what was that big giant guy boss at the end supposed to do again? I didnt seem to be that dramatic of a thing.. as opososed to the first one.. in which Sovereign and the other dude were right at the end... just seemed much more monstrous.

I have beat if quite a few times already and I love it. I like it better than ME1 because I love character stories more than the grand overarching story. So while ME1 has a great story, ME2's just appeals to me more. And my crew is intact on each playthrough.

I liked this game... Though the final mission really felt a bit rushed. I mean, the entire game was all just collecting team members. It just felt like the game jumped from chapter 2 to chapter 6 in a second. I would've liked some more missions between the IFF relay and the point where I'd gathered all my team members. You know, like some missions where I actually get to use my entire team. In a sense, what I'm trying to say is that something like the ending should really have been the middle part of the game. Would have meant for more combat upgrading and levelling up within one single playthrough.

I loved the mission structures... The combat situations were all original and creative. So were the locales. Also, I love how the difficulty in this game scales up. You don't go from 'easy as pie' to 'requires mass-memorization and brain specialization.' Instead, it just levels up intuitively, so it just scales to a more tactically challenging experience. Though the party AI at the higher settings does need a lot more babysitting... they just keep getting themselves killed otherwise.

Moral choices were great, Mordin's being the obvious favourite. Jack's was the worst.

Inventory decisions need some modding for ME3. I'd like a little something to pick up and sell every so often, but not the kilos upon kilos of Avenger II's and Phoenix V's.

Also, what would own the FRAGGIN HEAVEN out of everything else in this world would be a mod that lets you agglomerate Mass Effect 1, Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 into a single engine and play the entire thing as one single Mass Effect. Kinda like Tutu, really, but bigger.

My first playthrough I lost legion, i felt bad but there are like a million geth so i got over it pretty fast. Of course I romanced Tali. My reasoning was I was hoping to see what a Quarian looks like.

Lost no one and made out with Miranda. On my second play through Tali's in my sights! However, my favorite color is blue so I might try the Justicar.

Wait a minute ... does Tali take her helmet off when she gets intimate with Sheppard?

When they announce it as the Mass Effect trilogy, you should be ready for some major cliffhangers.

She says something along the lines of taking it off, but the camera pans away or goes black so you wouldn't be able to see how she looks :P On topic, I lost like MY ENTIRE CREW except the doctor on my first playthrough as I didn't go after the Reapers straight away. All the members who were able to shoot straight (Miranda, Thane and Mordin etc) survived :D

I thought the game was awsome, even though I think Mass Effect 1 was better. I lost Zaheed on my first playthrough, and I successfully completed the relationship with Miranda. I just started my second playthrough, and I am going to try to have a relationship with Miranda, Jack, and Tali. and I am going to try and get the through the final mission without losing anybody this time around. I knew I messed up when I left Zaheed in charge of guarding that door. He survied the attack, but he died as soon as I rallied with him. I guess he was too old and worn down to hold up. I am going to leave Archangel(Garrus) in charge this time around.

I used Jacob to guard the door. But for the second time I lost the tech expert that goes through the shafts. The part when they have to push the door close they always get shot in the head. I lost Kasumi.
